The GWmodel package offers a suite of localized spatial statistical methods, including geographically weighted (GW) summary statistics, principal components analysis, discriminant analysis, and various forms of regression, with both standard and robust (outlier-resistant) options. These outputs are often mapped, serving as a valuable exploratory tool that can guide subsequent, more advanced statistical analyses.

Converting aspatial data frame into a sf object

The condo_resale tibble data frame is currently aspatial, and the goal is to convert it into a spatial (sf) object. The code chunk below accomplishes this by using the st_as_sf() function from the sf package to create a simple feature data frame.

condo_resale.sf <- st_as_sf(condo_resale,
                            coords = c("LONGITUDE", "LATITUDE"),
                            crs=4326) %>%
  st_transform(crs=3414)

st_transform() of sf package is used to convert the coordinates from wgs84 (i.e. crs:4326) to svy21 (i.e. crs=3414).

Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)

EDA using statistical graphics

We can plot the distribution of SELLING_PRICE by using appropriate Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) 

ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x=`SELLING_PRICE`)) +
  geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")

The figure indicates a right-skewed distribution, suggesting that most condominium units were transacted at relatively lower prices. Statistically, this skew can be normalized using a log transformation. The code chunk below applies a log transformation to the SELLING_PRICE variable, creating a new variable called LOG_SELLING_PRICE using the mutate() function from the dplyr package.

condo_resale.sf <- condo_resale.sf %>%
  mutate(`LOG_SELLING_PRICE` = log(SELLING_PRICE))
ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x=`LOG_SELLING_PRICE`)) +
  geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")

Multiple Histogram Plots distribution of variables

In this section, you will learn how to draw a small multiple histograms (also known as trellis plot) by using ggarrange() of ggpubr package.

The code chunk below is used to create 12 histograms. Then, ggarrange() is used to organised these histogram into a 3 columns by 4 rows small multiple plot.

AREA_SQM <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x= `AREA_SQM`)) + 
  geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")

AGE <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x= `AGE`)) +
  geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")

PROX_CBD <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x= `PROX_CBD`)) +
  geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")

PROX_CHILDCARE <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x= `PROX_CHILDCARE`)) + 
  geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")

PROX_ELDERLYCARE <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x= `PROX_ELDERLYCARE`)) +
  geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")

PROX_URA_GROWTH_AREA <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, 
                               aes(x= `PROX_URA_GROWTH_AREA`)) +
  geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")

PROX_HAWKER_MARKET <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x= `PROX_HAWKER_MARKET`)) +
  geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")

PROX_KINDERGARTEN <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x= `PROX_KINDERGARTEN`)) +
  geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")

PROX_MRT <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x= `PROX_MRT`)) +
  geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")

PROX_PARK <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x= `PROX_PARK`)) +
  geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")

PROX_PRIMARY_SCH <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x= `PROX_PRIMARY_SCH`)) +
  geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")

PROX_TOP_PRIMARY_SCH <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, 
                               aes(x= `PROX_TOP_PRIMARY_SCH`)) +
  geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")

ggarrange(AREA_SQM, AGE, PROX_CBD, PROX_CHILDCARE, PROX_ELDERLYCARE, 
          PROX_URA_GROWTH_AREA, PROX_HAWKER_MARKET, PROX_KINDERGARTEN, PROX_MRT,
          PROX_PARK, PROX_PRIMARY_SCH, PROX_TOP_PRIMARY_SCH,  
          ncol = 3, nrow = 4)

Drawing Statistical Point Map

Lastly, we want to reveal the geospatial distribution condominium resale prices in Singapore. The map will be prepared by using tmap package.

tmap_mode("view")
tmap mode set to interactive viewing
tmap_options(check.and.fix = TRUE)
tm_shape(mpsz_svy21)+
  tm_polygons() +
tm_shape(condo_resale.sf) +  
  tm_dots(col = "SELLING_PRICE",
          alpha = 0.6,
          style="quantile") +
  tm_view(set.zoom.limits = c(11,14))
Warning: The shape mpsz_svy21 is invalid (after reprojection). See
sf::st_is_valid

set.zoom.limits argument of tm_view() sets the minimum and maximum zoom level to 11 and 14 respectively.

tmap_mode("plot")
tmap mode set to plotting

Hedonic Pricing Modelling in R

In this section, you will learn how to building hedonic pricing models for condominium resale units using lm() of R base.

Simple Linear Regression Method

First, we will build a simple linear regression model by using SELLING_PRICE as the dependent variable and AREA_SQM as the independent variable.

condo.slr <- lm(formula=SELLING_PRICE ~ AREA_SQM, data = condo_resale.sf)

The lm() function returns an object of class “lm” for single responses or class c("mlm", "lm") for multiple responses. The summary() and anova() functions provide summaries and analysis of variance tables for lm results. Generic accessor functions like coefficients, effects, fitted.values, and residuals extract specific components from the lm output.

summary(condo.slr)

Call:
lm(formula = SELLING_PRICE ~ AREA_SQM, data = condo_resale.sf)

Residuals:
     Min       1Q   Median       3Q      Max 
-3695815  -391764   -87517   258900 13503875 

Coefficients:

Signif. codes:  0 '***' 0.001 '**' 0.01 '*' 0.05 '.' 0.1 ' ' 1

Residual standard error: 942700 on 1434 degrees of freedom
Multiple R-squared:  0.4518,    Adjusted R-squared:  0.4515 
F-statistic:  1182 on 1 and 1434 DF,  p-value: < 2.2e-16

The output report indicates that SELLING_PRICE can be modeled by the formula:

y=−258121.1+14719x1y = -258121.1 + 14719x_1y=−258121.1+14719x1​

The R-squared value of 0.4518 suggests that this simple regression model explains approximately 45% of the variance in resale prices. Given that the p-value is much smaller than 0.0001, we reject the null hypothesis, concluding that the mean is not a good estimator for SELLING_PRICE and that this simple linear regression model is a strong estimator instead.

In the Coefficients section, both the intercept and the ARA_SQM estimate have p-values smaller than 0.001. Thus, we reject the null hypothesis that the coefficients B0B_0B0​ and B1B_1B1​ are equal to zero, implying that they are significant parameter estimates.

To visualize this best-fit line, the lm() function can be incorporated as a method in ggplot to display the regression line on a scatterplot, as shown in the following code chunk.

ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf,  
       aes(x=`AREA_SQM`, y=`SELLING_PRICE`)) +
  geom_point() +
  geom_smooth(method = lm)
`geom_smooth()` using formula = 'y ~ x'

Multiple Linear Regression Method

Visualising the relationships of the independent variables

Before constructing a multiple regression model, it is essential to confirm that the independent variables are not highly correlated, as high correlations can lead to multicollinearity, which degrades model quality.

A correlation matrix is a common tool to visualize the relationships among independent variables. While the pairs() function in R can display this, various packages also offer enhanced visualization options. In this case, the corrplot package is used.

The code chunk below generates a scatterplot matrix to visualize the relationships between the independent variables in the condo_resale data frame.

corrplot(cor(condo_resale[, 5:23]), diag = FALSE, order = "AOE",
         tl.pos = "td", tl.cex = 0.5, method = "number", type = "upper")

Matrix reordering is crucial for uncovering hidden structures and patterns within a correlation matrix. The corrplot package offers four ordering methods through the order parameter: “AOE,” “FPC,” “hclust,” and “alphabet.” In the code chunk above, “AOE” (Angular Order of the Eigenvectors) is used, following Michael Friendly’s method.

The scatterplot matrix reveals a high correlation between Freehold and LEASE_99YEAR. To improve model robustness, only one of these variables should be included in the regression model, so LEASE_99YEAR is excluded from the subsequent modeling process.

Test for Non-Linearity

In multiple linear regression, it is important for us to test the assumption that linearity and additivity of the relationship between dependent and independent variables.

In the code chunk below, the ols_plot_resid_fit() of olsrr package is used to perform linearity assumption test.

ols_plot_resid_fit(condo.mlr1)

The figure above reveals that most of the data poitns are scattered around the 0 line, hence we can safely conclude that the relationships between the dependent variable and independent variables are linear.

Test for Normality Assumption

Lastly, the code chunk below uses ols_plot_resid_hist() of olsrr package to perform normality assumption test.

ols_plot_resid_hist(condo.mlr1)

The figure reveals that the residual of the multiple linear regression model (i.e. condo.mlr1) is resemble normal distribution.

If you prefer formal statistical test methods, the ols_test_normality() of olsrr package can be used as shown in the code chun below.

ols_test_normality(condo.mlr1)
Warning in ks.test.default(y, "pnorm", mean(y), sd(y)): ties should not be
present for the one-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test
-----------------------------------------------
       Test             Statistic       pvalue

Anderson-Darling         67.9551         0.0000 
-----------------------------------------------

The summary table above reveals that the p-values of the four tests are way smaller than the alpha value of 0.05. Hence we will reject the null hypothesis and infer that there is statistical evidence that the residual are not normally distributed.

Testing for Spatial Autocorrelation

The hedonic model we try to build are using geographically referenced attributes, hence it is also important for us to visual the residual of the hedonic pricing model.

In order to perform spatial autocorrelation test, we need to convert condo_resale.sf from sf data frame into a SpatialPointsDataFrame.

First, we will export the residual of the hedonic pricing model and save it as a data frame

mlr.output <- as.data.frame(condo.mlr1$residuals)

Next, we will join the newly created data frame with condo_resale.sf object.

condo_resale.res.sf <- cbind(condo_resale.sf, 
                        condo.mlr1$residuals) %>%
rename(`MLR_RES` = `condo.mlr1.residuals`)

Next, we will convert condo_resale.res.sf from simple feature object into a SpatialPointsDataFrame because spdep package can only process sp conformed spatial data objects.

The code chunk below will be used to perform the data conversion process.

condo_resale.sp <- as_Spatial(condo_resale.res.sf)

Next, we will use tmap package to display the distribution of the residuals on an interactive map.

  tmap_options(check.and.fix = TRUE) +

  tm_view(set.zoom.limits = c(11,14))
Warning: The shape mpsz_svy21 is invalid (after reprojection). See

Variable(s) "MLR_RES" contains positive and negative values, so midpoint is set to 0. Set midpoint = NA to show the full spectrum of the color palette.
tmap_mode("plot")

The figure above reveal that there is sign of spatial autocorrelation.

To proof that our observation is indeed true, the Moran’s I test will be performed

First, we will compute the distance-based weight matrix by using dnearneigh() function of spdep.

nb <- dnearneigh(coordinates(condo_resale.sp), 0, 1500, longlat = FALSE)

Next, lm.morantest() of spdep package will be used to perform Moran’s I test for residual spatial autocorrelation

lm.morantest(condo.mlr1, nb_lw)

    Global Moran I for regression residuals

data:  
model: lm(formula = SELLING_PRICE ~ AREA_SQM + AGE + PROX_CBD +

NO_Of_UNITS + FAMILY_FRIENDLY + FREEHOLD, data = condo_resale.sf)
weights: nb_lw

Moran I statistic standard deviate = 24.366, p-value < 2.2e-16
alternative hypothesis: greater
sample estimates:

    1.438876e-01    -5.487594e-03     3.758259e-05 

The Global Moran’s I test for residual spatial autocorrelation shows that it’s p-value is less than 0.00000000000000022 which is less than the alpha value of 0.05. Hence, we will reject the null hypothesis that the residuals are randomly distributed.

Since the Observed Global Moran I = 0.1424418 which is greater than 0, we can infer than the residuals resemble cluster distribution.

Building Hedonic Pricing Models using GWmodel

Building Fixed Bandwidth GWR Model

Computing fixed bandwith

In the code chunk below, the bw.gwr() function from the GWModel package is used to determine the optimal fixed bandwidth for the model. Setting the adaptive argument to FALSE specifies that we are interested in calculating a fixed bandwidth.

Two possible approaches can be used to define the stopping rule: the cross-validation (CV) approach and the corrected Akaike Information Criterion (AICc) approach. The stopping rule is established based on the agreement between these approaches.

bw.fixed <- bw.gwr(formula = SELLING_PRICE ~ AREA_SQM + AGE + PROX_CBD +

Visualising GWR Output

The output feature class table includes not only the regression residuals but also fields for observed and predicted yyy values, the condition number (cond), Local R2R^2R2, residuals, and coefficients and standard errors of the explanatory variables:

  • Condition Number: This diagnostic assesses local collinearity. High condition numbers (above 30) may indicate strong local collinearity, leading to unstable results and potentially unreliable outputs.

  • Local R2R^2R2: Values range from 0.0 to 1.0, reflecting the fit of the local regression model to observed yyy values. Low values indicate poor model performance in specific locations. Mapping Local R2R^2R2 can reveal areas where the model performs well and areas where it does not, possibly indicating missing variables.

  • Predicted Values: These represent the estimated yyy values calculated by GWR.

  • Residuals: Calculated by subtracting the predicted yyy values from the observed yyy values. Standardized residuals, which have a mean of zero and a standard deviation of 1, can be visualized on a color scale (e.g., cold-to-hot) to identify patterns.

  • Coefficient Standard Errors: These values indicate the reliability of each coefficient estimate. Smaller standard errors, relative to the coefficients, suggest greater confidence in the estimates, while large standard errors could signal issues with local collinearity.

All these metrics are stored within a SpatialPointsDataFrame or SpatialPolygonsDataFrame object, combined with fit points, GWR coefficient estimates, observed and predicted yyy values, coefficient standard errors, and t-values in its “data” slot, which is accessed in an object called SDF within the output list.

Converting SDF into sf data.frame

To visualise the fields in SDF, we need to first covert it into sf data.frame

condo_resale.sf.adaptive <- st_as_sf(gwr.adaptive$SDF) %>%
  st_transform(crs=3414)
condo_resale.sf.adaptive.svy21 <- st_transform(condo_resale.sf.adaptive, 3414)
